7th Gr ELA Question

Hi Kelly,
Here's the question:
7th grade ELA Agli 31102 on page 13 is: Respond to speaker (e.g. yes or no questions, choice decisions, etc.) The SAT from the frameworks is: The student will answer yes or no or true or false to questions about factual information in a text presented by the teacher.
Since the Agli itself does not say factual information, can the teacher make the SAT comparable and take out the words "factual" and "true or false"; and for the VE use yes or no questions posed by a teacher about a "fiction" story that was read?

Hi Jeanann,
Thank you for the question. Based on the information you have provided below, it would be very appropriate for the teacher to modify the SAT to make it comparable to the individual student needs. The intent of the AGLI is for a student to demonstrate his or her knowledge, skills, and understanding in responding to a speaker. The SAT provided in the Frameworks is just one way a student may demonstrate this. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you,
